I saw that. But while the text suggests the initiative is connected to EU, I don’t see something making it certain

Hold on. That page is someone wishing all this were true or it’s actually happening?

o7 !

Just don’t touch the dragonfly’s passenger seat to avoid bugs.

🤣 some things never change

I suspect that all those instances of bikes slipping below the radars are mostly omissions, not planned balancing. But to me it always was cool. That suddenly there was a point of having one

Could Mobilizon be used for that?

EDIT: for finding a date for some other thing I’ve been happy with how Polls in Nextcloud work. But NC might be too big for your needs. Maybe something from those would fit you?

Absolutely! But then, what are the odds someone will look at something, someone from the present is doing, 5000 years from now and thinking same questions? Name unknown, probably not used since a long time ago, language forgotten. Yet, there they were, doing a thing that’s relatable. Through all the wars, cataclysms, bite of time

It’s like a message in a bottle

I know that this “DYK” is a bit tired by now but it still blows my mind occasionally: For Cleopatra those pieces would have been further in the past, than she is to us. By ~800 years. 800 years from now is 1200s. Those come from an old past of an ancient past before the ancient past

There was a person, patiently sanding off features of a dog. What was their reality like? What were they worrying about? What were they hoping for? All seemingly lost like game pieces in the sand. Yet, somehow here those are. Washed ashore despite the storms of history

That’s some precision flying

If they could be using web UI (I’m not sure how a client would work with auth like that) then it kind of depends on how much hassle they can live with and how secure you want to be

Simplest would be to use https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/reference/routing-configuration/http/middlewares/basicauth/
You set up username and password and share those with the user. But it can be brute-forced

Something more secure but also a bit more demanding would be some kind of email otp
https://docs.goauthentik.io/add-secure-apps/flows-stages/stages/authenticator_email/
Set up authentik to send time-limited link to their email that well let them through. But they would have to authenticate every time they access

Games are funny sometimes. Crossbow is a boom-headshot when bullets have to be hosed.
Because otherwise the reload time would make crossbow completely unfeasible.
Because making NPC logic can’t realistically be based on sound, so the balance moving parts have to be elsewhere

Thanks!

I think that’s why wording mentions friends not a public service

I’m afraid that with applications it would end up with the same situation we have now. 2-3 people per instance

For sure only local accounts should have voting rights

I was rather thinking about reports also having votes

Oh, nice find. I’m saving that

AFAIK the apps are rather based on the APIs. And in general APIs usually don’t require a User-Agent header as they return only data, without the html

Do you know of an app that is setting user agent?

I guess, pick one that you like and check (check code or network traffic) if it’s setting user-agent header

I have also been wondering about this. But

admins and mods are selected sortitionally( randomly) from people who apply

That’s your point of starvation. The application

I think, instead, everyone on the instance should be a voting member. And the decisions should be taken based on some requirement on the votes

1. person one flags a post -> that’s a vote
2. maybe add a header that this post is under review? The voting process should probably be taking some time
3. another person flags the same post -> that’s a vote
4. someone else says it should not be flagged -> that’s a vote in opposite direction
5. ??? <- can be changed by an instance wide vote too
6. post/comment/user is either moderated or not, depending on votes and logic from the previous vote

In order to boost participation, randomly ask an active account to cast a vote on an ongoing discussion

I think there should be some way for “backend admin” to step in and ban something. But they should only do that for spam/csam/scam/etc. Nothing else, no matter how crazy or rude the take is
(btw, maybe the instance could also normalize asking someone to reword their take if it’s rude or can be interpreted badly out of context?)

I think the scope of the idea is the service itself, not the hosting part. So the rotation would be for those who set sidebar, not those who deploy

Well, now I see that I’m going to move to have sshfs instead. There are issues with spamming sftp connections for all the small files. But in general I’ve learned that really “done is better than perfect”. Just make it work, observe, iterate

Personally I don’t agree that MD is bad but I’ve seen some opinions that Org Mode is better
